Moving on down the road

Too many of you hurry through when you see the same post at the top, not knowing I was posting below it so I replaced it with the shorter request for help.

Today was a "take a break" day for all of us. I rode shot gun for Jeanette while she got her bank stuff straightened out one day. I have taken both the moms out to get clothes and phones so they are all in touch even though they are in three different homes. Neither of them has family in the area and one of them doesn't even know where to contact her mom. It's very sad to be alone in a mess like this. I am doing mom stand in duty to them as much as I can.

IF they can get the money to get a roof on then they can pace the rebuild to match the finances as they go. Please send what you can, no matter how small you think it may seem. We have raised enough to get them communication, transportation and safe locations. They have clothes and bedding for now and personal care supplies. The food just keeps coming in and they save the freezer of venison and the cellar of home made canned goods.

With pneumonia before the fire and smoke inhalation for all of them they have been under the weather. All three kids have been on inhaler treatments this week. Hopefully they will be back in pre-school next week. The guys have been pushing themselves so hard to get the mess cleaned up and the trash cleaned up that they are both exausted. I hope they finally took time to relax a little today. They still have dogs and cats to feed and chickens to care for but I am praying they got a good break.

One more day.
